§ 27. Mr. Steenasked the Secretary of State for Transport if, in his consideration of the future shape of the rail network, he will take into account the possibility of designating as cycle tracks any lines to be closed.
§ Mr. EyreWe have made it clear that wherever possible some alternative transport use should be found for redundant railway lines. But we have no powers to designate such rail formations as cycle tracks; this is a matter for local authorities to consider.
